In that time, 63 managers have left a Premier League hot-seat with most clubs saying goodbye to three former bosses.

The season with the most managerial departures came in 2013/14, with 11 bosses being axed and two leaving by mutual decision, but no Villa gaffers felt the chop in the campaign of casualties.

Villa's managerial turnover strangely has an interesting pattern to it - that was until Garde was guillotined.

Tim Sherwood, Paul Lambert and Alex McLeish were all handed their P45s after picking up three points in their last six games - Sherwood and Lambert winning one and McLeish drawing three.

Garde's tenure started with a return of three points from his six games, whereas after McLeish and Lambert were axed Villa achieved seven and 12 points from their next half dozen respectively.

Moreover, the former Lyon gaffer is the only manager to replace a sacked Villa boss and not improve the average points haul - not a good record to have seen as though last season every replacement boss in the Premier League improved their side's form.

The former Villa boss is also only the second manager since 2010 to have survived his side losing 5 of their last six before making it six out of six.

Only Martin Jol was given another game after losing five from six at Fulham in 2013 - he went on to lose the next match 3-0 to West Ham and was axed shortly after.

Garde lived a longer life than most with his record in the Premier League, but the tools at his disposal did not meet the standards required to stay in England's top-flight.
